Natural zeolite/epoxy resin composites were prepared and the cure kinetics was studied by dynamic DSC analysis. With the increments of natural zeolite content, the reaction starting temperature and the exothermic peak temperature were decreased. When diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4,4'-methylene dianiline(MDA)/malononitrile(MN, 10phr) was filled with 20phr of zeolite, DSC thermogram had one peak and when it was filled with 30phr of zeolite, a shoulder appeared on the DSC thermogram. With the filling of 40phr of zeolite, DSC thermogram was separated into two peaks and the activation energy of the first peak, $Ea_1$ was 12.30 kJ/mol and that of the second peak, $Ea_2$ was 12.70 kJ/mol.

The properties of the natural zeolite produced in Kuryongpo, Kyungsang-Bukdo, were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, chemical composition analysis, and nitrogen adsorption experiment. The quality of the acid treated natural zeolite as the catalyst for the disproportionation reaction of toluene was examined experimentally by observing the conversion in a microcatalytic reactor. The quantitative analysis and X-ray diffraction spectrum showed that the zeolite ore of Kuryongpo contained approximately 30 to 40 percent of mordenite structure. The surface area of the zeolite ore was $75m^2$/gm and increased to a maximum value of $320m^2$/gm after treatment with 2 N HCl solution. The catalytic activity for the toluene disproportionation reaction was maximum when the zeolite treated with 2 N HCl solution was used. The selectivity of xylene to benzene decreased with increasing degree of acid treatment.

A series of domestic natural zeolites were investigated to identify the phase and to study the capability of $NH_4{^+}$-ion removal from solution system. It was proved that the natural zeolite from Young-II bay area was thermally unstable zeolite, heulandite by XRD and FT-IR analyses. In addition, the heulandite exchanged by $K^+$ ion showed the highest thermal stability upon heat-treatments. However, the best capability of removing $NH_4{^+}$-ion from the solution system was the non-exchanged zeolite.

Various treaments such heating, acid tenting, acid healing, alkaline treating, acid+alkaline renting were attempted to investigate their effects on molar ratio, chemical composition, DTA and specific surface area(SSA) of natural zeolite poder. Molar ratio, Si to AI. of natural zeolite was 4.78, which represented high silica type. Composition of natural zeolite showed that $SiO_2$ was 66.34% $Al_2O_3$ was 13.89%, $Fe_2O_2$ was 1.55% X-ray diffraction showed that main component of natural zeolite was mordenite and clinoptliolite. Differential Thermal Analysis and Thermogravimetry curve of natural zeolite was showed to peak of endothermic peak at $80^{\circ}C$ and it means to the peak of dehydrate reaction, but recristalization was not formed below at $1,000^{\circ}C$. Weight loss during calcination was 16% at $1,000^{\circ}C$. Thermal treatments on SSA of natural zolite powder decreased from $75.2m^2/g\;to\;2.1m^2/g$. In contrast chemical treatments on SSA showed to increase to $300.2m^2/g$(1 N HCl treating), $54.9m^2/g$(1 N NaOH) and $90.9m^2/g$(HCl+NaOH)tudy, it could be proposed to employ acid tret method as packaging materisls for MA packaging.

This study was conducted to examine the change of nitrogen in soils treated by cow manure originated from the clay mineral feeding. Bentonite, zeolite, and porphyry were feeded. CEC of the porphyry showed the lowest value, 12.02 cmol/㎏, among three kinds of clay mineral. The manure treated soils were incubated at 14, 18, 22, $25^{\circ}C$. CEC of the manure after bentonite, zeolite, porphyry feeding were 147.5, 137.0, and 114.0 cmol(+)/㎏, respectively. These values were higher than that of non-mineral treated manure, 107.5 cmol(+)/㎏. After 8 weeks incubation, there were no significant difference in the content of $NH_4-N$, but the content of $NO_3-N$ in soils were in order of zeolite treated > bentonite treated > porphyry treated > non-nimeral treated. These results suggested that the clay mineral adsorbed $NH_4\;^+-N$ and prevent the loss of nitrogen from soils.

This study was conducted to find out the effect of natural zeolite addition on the purification of livestock farming wastewater and the application of zeolite used for purification of livestock farming wastewater on growth of sudangrass. In a semi-continuous process it was found that COD, $NH_4-N$, $NO_3-N$ and T-N contents in the effluent solution decreased with the treatment of natural zeolite. The zeolite addition was effective on the purification of livestock farming wastewater. By the results of application for sudangrass cultivation, the accumulative N-uptake contents by sudangrass were lower than that of control(35kg/10a) at early growth stage, but were higher at the late growth stage.

All the applications of natural zeolites make use of one or more of their physical and chemical properties: adsorption, ion-exchange and related molecular sieve properties, dehydration and rehydration, and siliceous composition. Accordingly, the applications of zeolite have been carried out in the various aspects because of its large cation exchange capacity and adsorption properties. In this paper, the adsorption effect of heavy metal ions in wastewater on zeolite mineral by batch adsorption process is studied. The amounts of adsorbed ions were variable by original pH and ionic concentration, especially original pH of solution had an important effect on the adsorption. In case of low pH solution, e.g. below 3.0, clinoptilolite adsorbed $Pb^{2+}$ ,$ Cd ^{2+ }$ , $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{ 2+}$ , but mordenite almost did not adsorb except $Pb^{2+}$ . Under the same conditions, these ions were more adsorbed on clinoptilolite than on mordenite mineral. The velocity of adsorption was relatively fast and it was confirmed by shaking test that the equilibrium of adsorption could be attained in about one hour. The species of exchangeable cation of zeolite had an effect on its removing ability and zeolite of the sodium-exchanged type was the best.

A study was made of the effect of zeolite in detergent on the removal of soils correlating the characteristics of soil components. The detergency of natural soil was increased with increasing zeolite concentration but the effect on detergency was inferior to STPP. In case of carbon black based artificial soils. The detergency of soil containning non-polar oily soil was not improved by zeolite but the detergancy was increased with increasing zeolite concentration when polar oily soils were added to the soil. In case of iron black based artificial soils. Though the detergency was better than that of carbon black based soils, the detergency was not improved by zeolite regardless of oily soil components. The effect of zeolite on removal of oily soil was studied with tripalmitin and palmitic acid as model soils. The effect of zeolite and STPP on the removal of tripalmitin, the detergency was increased with in creasing STPP concentration but not zeolite.

Natural gas reformed hydrogen is used as a fuel of fuel cell vehicle, PSA process is used for the purification of reformed hydrogen. In this study, the performance of CO adsorbent in PSA process was evaluated. Zeolite adsorbents used in the commercial PSA process is used. The physical and chemical properties of adsorbents were characterized using BET apparatus, XRD, and FE-SEM. The breakthrough apparatus modified from GC was used for the CO breakthrough experiment, the quantitative analysis of CO adsorption capacity was performed using CO breakthrough curve. Zeolite 10X and 13X showed superior CO adsorption capacity than activated alumina. The CO adsorption capacity of zeolite 10X is more than twice of zeolite 13X even the BET surface area is low. It seems that the presence of $Ca^{2+}$ cation in zeolite 10X is beneficial to the adsorption of CO.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of cow manure originated from the clay mineral (porphyrite, zeolite and bentonite) feeding on the growth of Zea mays GK729. CEC of the manure after bentonite, zeolite, and porphyrite feeding were 147.5, 137.0, and 114.0 cmol/Kg, respectively. These values were higher than that of non-mineral treated manure, 107.5 cmol/Kg. After 3 month growing, there was significant difference among treatment in the biomass prodcution and the content of minerals in plant tissue of Z. mays, but the physico-chemical properties of soils were not showed significant difference. For these results suggested that the clay mineral enhanced the grwoth of Z. mays according to the unknown mechanism, the further studies on the physiological changes will be needed.
